For something a little different, Pink Velvet Burlesque is putting on a burlesque show this weekend at Menz & Mollyz. Black Stocking Theatre: Revamped is a continuation of the troupe’s regular Hallowe’en shows. Vamps, Ghouls and all sort of sexy characters will be present. There will be two shows, tonight (Friday the 21st) and Saturday the 22nd. Show starts at 8 pm.

On the other side of town, the Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project is hosting a fundraising gala and awards ceremony. The event takes place on Saturday, October the 22nd, at the Marriott Halifax Harbourfront.

The gala is hosted by Candy Palmater - who was recently featured on this site - with keynote speaker Matt Alber. The evening will also present two community awards to two local heroes, Maggie Haywood of Venus Envy and Northwood, a living community for seniors.
